The girls have been getting crafty in the kitchen again. They made the chocolate hearts on top of these cupcakes themselves, and adorned them in pink and red. They were most yummy.
We had a lot of snow during the first part of the week, so Emily and Madeline took advantage of the opportunity to ride their sleds before it melted.
On Wednesday evening, all of our youth got together to help one of our young men, Sam, assemble birdhouses for his Eagle Scout project. We'll still need to head out to a county park to hang all the birdhouses in order to complete his project. This was a good start though.
Saturday was our final regular swim meet for the winter season. Here's Jessica in full action.
We were very excited because Emily qualified for the District Championships in two individual events (50 Yard Butterfly and 100 Yard Freestyle), and in two relay events (200 Free and 200 Medley). This was a major goal of hers at the beginning of the season. The relay qualifications occurred earlier this season, but she made us sweat until the final meet of the season on the two individual events. We're very proud of her. Unfortunately, the District Championship for her age group is on a Sunday, and Emily feels very strongly against swimming on the Sabbath. So barring some accommodation, the season is done for all three girls. We're proud of Emily for her conviction as well as her swimming ability.
